little buddy
the future we feared as children has become reality.

Keep tabs on your child at all times with this small but sophisticated device that combines GPS and cellular technology to provide you with real-time location updates. The small and lightweight Little Buddy transmitter fits easily into a backpack, lunchbox or other receptacle, making it easy for your child to carry so you can check his or her location at any time using a smartphone or computer.
Customizable safety checks allow you to establish specific times and locations where your child is supposed to be — for example, in school — causing the device to alert you with a text message if your child leaves the designated area during that time. Additional real-time alerts let you know when the device's battery is running low so you can take steps to ensure your monitoring isn't interrupted.

Re: little buddy
I want my kids physically tagged with a GPS chip under the skin or something. If your kid is "carrying" a device around, they can easily leave it some place.
Without condoning... or condemning. I understand.

Re: little buddy
it honestly creeps me out that there will be a generation of people that will consider this kind of thing normal and will not question it.

Re: little buddy
If children deserve basic human rights then they need to stop being minors.

Re: little buddy
>.> I'm ambivalent.... I'd like to know where my kids are at all times....but when does that stop? Also....I don't think people deserve human rights until they appreciate them.....a little oppression will only help one understand the greatness that is freedom....
